    Ram Sky Hauler

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LlV3_wvUE8 (NSFW language) Probably needs it's own subforum, not sure if it's an EV or not.

    Allmopar customer service

    I recently placed an order with this vendor and there were a few stumbles. I do not expect perfection from anyone, mistakes happen. What matters is how those mistakes are addressed. In short, the first order was lost in shipping by a UPS contractor. Obviously not the vendor's fault, but they...

    Power Wagon friendly trails in central/northern WI?

    I'll be in the area for a few days in the trail whale, doing some research on plus sized offroader friendly locations. I've come up with a few, but curious as to any personal recommendations from forum members.

    Tracking down an interior squeaky sound

    My 2021 Power Wagon 75A has a slight squeak when I turn or hit a bump causing lateral movement. Straight up bounce from a pothole does not cause the noise, there must be some left/right force. It sounds like it's coming from the rear driver's side of the vehicle. I can bounce around on my...

    Issue with "Installing PopupMesseges_es_MX161400.jar"

    Just a heads up for anyone who gets this pop up error message on their screen and it stays there. I've been to the dealership twice and we figured out what the issue was. If you have an older Android phone and connect it via Bluetooth *and* Android Auto there's a chance the software will...

    Temporary paint shield

    Low chance, I know, but has anybody here used: https://generalchem.com/product/paintshield-5720 to protect their truck from thorns/branches while off roading? If so, how well did it work?

    Is there a 20" rim that will work with the spare tire winch?

    The original spare tire on the 2012 I gave my son is dry rotted and I wouldn't trust it. I plan to get him some tires for his birthday anyway, is there a 20" rim that will mount on the spare tire winch so he can keep one of the current good-but-getting-low-tread tires as his new spare?

    Portable air compressor

    Will the electric plug in in the bed run a portable air compressor without issue? Something like this to air up tires: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Cable-6-Gal-150-PSI-Portable-Electric-Air-Compressor-Kit-C2002-WK/100672214

    Protecting back up sensors?

    I'm not sure why Ram decided to put the back up sensors where they are instead of flush mounting higher up on the bumper, but it leaves me a bit concerned that a failure in judgement on departure angle could leave me with busted sensors. Is anyone drilling the bumper and refitting them higher...

    Can phone navigation display on non-nav radio screen?

    2022 1500 rental. No manual to consult. Have phone connected for music and calls. Won't display Google maps. I assume base radio. Tried bluetooth and wired. Any ideas?

    Magnetic armor?

    Does anyone make pre-cut magnetic armor for the Power Wagon like they do for Jeeps, etc? Many of the trails I have local access to are likely to have some brush rubbing against the panels and I'd rather have some protection for the paint. If not, I'll buy some rolls of flexible magnetic...

    Next question - any reason to avoid a 2021 75th anniversary? (see post #31)

    So twice now I've gotten scooped before I could get to see a truck or work a deal. I'm pretty satisfied the PW is my next truck. I'm ok with ordering new and waiting and I'm ok with a very late model used. Is there any reason to avoid a 2021 or the 75th anniversary model in particular...

    2022 Order banks closed, at least for Rebel

    I attempted to get a quote on a 2022 Rebel build to compare to the quotes I have on Tremor builds and was told 2022 order banks are now closed and no firm word on when 2023 will open up. Also no word on what, if any, changes 2023 will bring. I'd like to see the tire lines on the front camera...

    Uconnect thinks every message is from the same contact

    For the last few days, every time I get a text my truck says it's from Steve. None of them have been from Steve and I haven't even gotten a text from Steve for several months so...wtf Ram? Anyone have an easy fix? I figure if nothing else I'll delete my phone out of the system and then...

    Are there Chevrolet dealers doing under invoice pricing on orders?

    I don't track Chevrolet news much these days, so I've no idea. A friend of mine got t-***** last weekend by a red light runner. He's fine, but his car is a total loss and he has a 50-ish mile one way commute so that's a bother. He normally buys Nissan because of his supplier discount and luck...

    Grand Cherokee Trailhawk going hybid only for 2023

    The Grand Cherokee "Trailhawk" trim level will now only be 4XE. I honestly don't get it. The Trailhawk is the off road version. I get, sort of, in on-road oriented trims. The Grand Cherokee is a reasonably popular soccer mom mobile and 25 miles of all electric range and the social justice...

    Buying for longevity

    I'm still mulling over what my next truck will be, but the 5th Gen Rebel is in consideration. I've owned my current truck for 10 years and will likely keep the next at least as long. Options to avoid? Seems like: Sunroof (eventually will rattle and/or leak) Is the 5th gen air suspension any...

    What in 2023 is going to be interesting? Going to need a new truck.

    I've been reliably informed that my truck is going to be stolen next year. The suspect is my son and the accomplice is my wife. So I *may* have once said my son could have my truck when I bought something new. I was temporarily insane. I was drunk. I was sleep deprived. The sun was in my...

    Ranger Raptor

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B_ADiHiE88 Confirmed coming to the US market in 2023. I know some guys in management at some of the suppliers and Ford has ordered enough components for 200k units of the next gen Ranger (not all Raptors, obviously). That's a sexy mid-size, a segment that's...

    $1k vouchers

    Just as a heads up, Ram is doing direct marketing vouchers again. If you play around with the build & price on the website you may get a notification you are eligible for one. Giving them your email results in a code for a $1k rebate good for 90 days on most RAMs (TRX excluded). Note this is...

    What's your automotive "poison pill" ?

    The MDS discussion made me think this might be a fun topic. What "features" will keep you from buying a vehicle you otherwise would? What's the poison pill that makes an otherwise attractive package impossible to accept? For me: Automatic braking. I will not buy a vehicle that can apply the...

    My wife wants to go top less...

    ...so we went and test drove the new Bronco and a Gladiator. Of the two, we both preferred the Bronco. Definitely more authoritative acceleration, the seats and seating position were very comfortable, and the ride height was nice. She wants to get a Bronco in a few years now, once all the...
